﴿ وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُ ۖ فَأَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ ﴾

“Now if thou ask those [who worship any being other than God] as to who it is that has created them, they are sure to answer, “God.” How perverted, then, are their minds!”

(And if thou ask them) i.e. the Banu Malih (who created them, they will surely say: Allah) created us. (How then are they turned away) from whence do they lie against Allah after such a confession?
